Reissued in an oversized board book, this classic tale takes the reader on a family’s bear hunt. As the children and their parents enjoy a nature outing there are plenty of sound effects. You’ll hear “Swishy swash!” as they walk through tall grass and “Splash splosh!” as they wade through water.

The pages alternate between black and white and color also. The “Bear Hunt” game continues until the family actually disturbs a real bear in his den. “Hoooo woooo!” Now it is time to run for home because the unhappy bear is right behind them!

Safe at home! Or are they? Perhaps the bear wants to invade their home! Read the book to find out if he does!

This will be a fun read for toddlers who can help make the “sounds” which are worked into the narrative. Afterwards, perhaps you can go on a bear hunt in your neighborhood!
